And having been to Japan and eaten in 'down home' kinda places with natives. it isdn't that far off. Not the English tarnslations, but the kind of food. They eat things we never even heard of. Not at all bad, mind you. But very much unfamiliar to westerners.

2. I wonder what the "cowboy leg" is? Maybe it's just beef. |

3. This stuff reminds me of an article I read some 20 years ago |
|
about the then-trendy beer cocktails available in Tokyo bars, combining all sorts of fruits and syrups and herbs and fermented soy products together with American beers (extra cachet for imported).
Now I'd had a very nice warm bock beer with lemon during Oktoberfest, but somehow a cherry mint white miso Schlitz cocktail sounds just plain weird.
I will never understand the Japanese food esthetic. I don't even want to try.

5. I was in China two years ago, |
|
I read/speak no Chinese. I never saw a menu with any English (I would have found even this much mighty helpful). Fortunately, my traveling companion reads and speaks fluent Chinese, but UNFORTUNATELY, he always became so fascinated by the menus, he was too absorbed to explain to me what items were. So I just picked some interesting things (I think???). Every single item I had was delicious, and appetizingly presented, though we ate in very modest restaurants.
Only once, we went to a somewhat upscale place and ordered a fish. We were surpised when the waitress brought out a nice plastic shopping bag and held it open for my companion... he looked in to see a live fish. He nodded approval and they later brought it to the table, cooked and very beautifully presented. We smiled and thought we could now eat it, but no. Now that we had admired its beauty and artful presentation, it was taken to a nearby table, cleaned of every single bone and returned to us looking as exactly as it had before.

I didn't even KNOW DU had a cooking forum (until someone mentioned Hub2Sparkley's recipes in GD), so I hot-footed it over here and am sitting here giggling with tears rolling down my cheeks.
My husband and I - heck, even our 6-year-old son, are cooking show junkies.
I'll be spending a little bit of time here - especially if y'all can tell me what to do with left-over fake crab. :hi:

Fake Crab Louie........Yummmmmm
If you have a lot you can cover it with a bechemel and bake it with some Parm on top.....
Or mix it with a very spicy tomato sauce and put it over pasta.
Welcome Home!

13. Menu from Spain: "jamon en Trocha" = " truth in ham" actually |
|
Trout with ham...but it lost something in translation. We have joked about "truth in ham" for 23 years.
